Data is one of those boring but essential components of a successful, modern business. Business leaders rely on research to make marketing and sales decisions, and data records all of the interactions within the business. Since data has so much potential to guide an organization to success, it is surprising how many companies store data that is completely useless to them. It’s not that the data is inherently worthless, but the organization doesn't have the capacity to handle or analyze the data for the information to have value.

We have all read the articles touting the benefits of cloud computing and have also read the warnings about downtime and security. After doing your own research and evaluating your current business situation, we have decided that moving to the cloud is a good idea. Now what? As any IT professional can attest, implementing a new application or process is complicated enough, let alone moving an entire or maybe part of an infrastructure from one medium to another. How should businesses prepare for this move? What steps should they take and what issues should they watch out for? The complete answer will vary for each organization, but the following advice should get you started in the right direction when migrating to a cloud database.

In the NoSQL category, it is the fastest growing in terms of implementation. Adoption of this platform can be credited to its developer-centric approach which makes the development of application faster. Structured storage makes the consumption of data from MongoDB simpler which makes it a popular choice. Adoption of business object in its original form makes it easy for both: enterprise as user & vendor team as a developer. Hence, a translation between the database and application is ruled out. Infrastructure can manage the data storage scaling with focus on applications’ business logic.

Those who dismissed cloud computing a couple years ago as a passing fad are quickly learning that the cloud is here to stay. Just like Twitter and Facebook evolved from a college student “fad” to key marketing tools, cloud computing is a viable business solution.

Those who don't will soon fall behind and find themselves replaced by someone who knows how to incorporate the cloud.
